Future

Exams are officially over for me, and just like that I’ve realised that I only have 11 weeks left at Leicester. Like all the others, this semester is going to fly by, and in a few months time it’ll be graduation time (say whaaa)! I think I’m in good standing with my degree classification right […]

It’s a short post this week, as I thought I’d share something I’ve been thinking about a lot this week. It’s not a long thought, so there’s not much I can write, but it’s interested me all the same. Imagine the scenario. You’re a trainee teacher, meeting a class for the first time. Alternatively, you’ve […]

This week I found out that I’d been accepted into the EDHEC to study an MSc in Finance; so next year, for the second time in two years, I’ll be saying goodbye to England and bonjour to the South of France. I’m convinced that one of the main reasons I got into the school was […]

Well, hello! It’s the 9th November, and I’ve not written a blog since July. Have you missed me? Maybe, maybe not, but I’m back regardless. The difference? I’m no longer the undergraduate maths blogger, I’m blogging as a postgraduate! (The maths blog has been taken over by the lovely Lois, whose blogs I’m thoroughly enjoying. […]

It’s now officially 2 weeks until uni starts, and right now emotions are taking me over (if you got that reference to one of the best old school R’n’B tunes, congrats; if you didn’t here’s a link to the song). Whether you’re a fresher or a returning student, chances are you’ll be feeling at least one […]

An internship is a great opportunity to experience what it’s like working in the ‘real world’. It can help you confirm your aspirations and career goals, or make you realise that actually, you don’t want to be an Auditor. This week is my second week interning in London at a real estate company. I’ve been […]

It was my 20th last week, and whilst I’m officially no longer a teenager, I’ll always be a child at heart. Your 20’s are supposed to be some of your best years; ones where you start your career, find your soul mate and maybe even have children. I’ve been reading a lot of those ‘things to do […]

A-Level results are coming up fast and I’m sure many of you are waiting anxiously for August 13th. I can remember the run up to my A-Level results VERY clearly. I already knew I hadn’t got the grades I needed to get into my Firm or Insurance, but part of me still wished and hoped and […]

Dear University of Leicester, I have started and restarted this blog post two or three times now, in search of the right words to sum up my graduation experience. I couldn’t do it. It still doesn’t feel real yet. So, instead, I am writing to you to summarise my time here; to summarise the time […]

So… I’m finished? My degree is over? Just over two weeks ago I sat my last exam, and in doing so, completed my maths degree. I can’t quite process that fact, even now. Once the initial excitement was over, I didn’t know how to feel. My brain kept telling me I should be revising or […]
